Reliable, in time and cheapest travel option unless one prefer to walk!! No A/c throughout, so can wear normal. Beware at the stops as beggars not genuine approaches you for money mentioning that he is going to travel in the same bus, never despite they have already collected the amount needed for destination.
The air conditioning wasn't cooling. The drivers didn't speak English, so communication was difficult. There were no bathroom breaks on a very long journey.
We arrived on time and the ride was comfortable. However the driver had a poor attitude to safety. Timely departure and arrival. The driver was rude with a poor attitude to customers, demanding rather than asking for tickets or cash for bag stowage. Worst of all was his attitude to safety- he spent a lot of the journey reading his phone, making handheld calls and even writing text at some points. He would sometimes steer with his elbows on the steering wheel.
A bit pricey but a very scenic route. The route is scenic and the windows are large which helps to appreciate the views. The driving was smooth and the journey was on time. The driver was throwing people's suitcases and backpacks into the luggage hold way too aggressively. The price is more than double the train, which seems a bit too expensive.
